ABOUT US
Reid Cycles began in 2009, with the sole intention of providing Australia's best value bikes. We do this by cutting out the middle-men and selling high quality bikes direct to the public. Designed by Australians for Australians; we create great bikes by combining fashion, function and quality.
To this day our bikes are ridden by over 400,000 Australians. In 2013, we sold our first bike internationally. Today, Reid bikes are available in more than 35 countries around the world!
REID CYCLES TODAY
From our humble beginnings in 2009, selling Reid bikes from my garage, we now have an online store and retail stores around Australia; and are available in 35 countries around the world.
Thanks to our strengths in product design and supply chain management, we now also make bikes for some of the most trusted names in cycling and sporting equipment around the world. This makes Reid the largest Australian-owned bicycle brand.
To be able to provide the best value bikes for our customers, we created Reid as a ‘direct to the public’ retailer. Traditionally, bikes would be made by the manufacturer, sold to a brand, who sells to a local distributor, who sells to a retailer, who then sells to a customer. Each person along the way needs to pay their overheads and make a profit, so it’s easy to see why bikes are so expensive. In the case of large international brands, there is a further premium customers pay to cover the millions spent on sponsoring pro riders and advertising.
Our ‘direct to the public’ business model means we do all the work, keep our costs low and cut out the middlemen.
As a result, our bikes and accessories are up to 40% more affordable compared with bikes from other retailers. This model perfectly integrates with our aim to provide Australia’s best value bikes.
To support our mantra of ‘Australia’s best value bikes’ we provide a Lifetime warranty on the frame and rigid forks, 2 years warranty on parts, and a dedicated Australian-based customer service team.
I established Reid Cycles to make bike riding affordable for everyday riders and that’s what drives us every day.
Happy riding!
James Reid – Founder, Owner & Managing Director
